Pre-built user profiles #258

a. It'll be nice to have pre-built user profiles ("Home", "Office", "Gamer", "Paranoid" etc). I love to test software, and I love to read forums/wikis, but when I'm comparing different software at the same time, I can't read everything, so a pre-built profile will save me a lot of time/work. Also, in real world, average users are not experts, and most of them don't know how/what to allow, how/what to block etc.

b. For the same reason, also it'll be nice to have different pre-built options for different programs ("Browser", "App", "Game", "Microsoft" etc). As far as I know, it's not good to have all programs with same generic allow/block "ports", "UDP/in/out", "TCP/in/out". Yeah, I know that at FF it's possible to customize "zones", "rules" etc. But average users have no clue how to control "ports", "UDP/in/out", "TCP/in/out", etc, and it'll help to have pre-configured options for different programs
